Identifying and Intercepting School Violence Through Cyber-Investigation

​

Law Enforcement and School Officials need to obtain the proper information when responding to threats of school violence online. Especially when there is “Leakage” and the posting party is targeting students and school personnel. It is important for the LEO/School Administrator to obtain crucial information and evidence in these cases and initiate due process paperwork in a timely manner. The LEO will then continue the investigation and use the Exigent Circumstances protocol to get the appropriate information. Identifying the perpetrator immediately provides Law Enforcement and Schools the ability to act quickly and proactively to reduce the threat of school shootings and other forms of violence.

Title of Instruction:

Identifying and Intercepting School Violence Through Cyber-Investigations

Instructional Goal:
The decisions made by the first responder can either make or break a sometimes sensitive internet/digital investigation. This 8 hour program will address the patrol response which is crucial in the handling of complaints and investigations related to internet based crimes, i.e. Fraud, Sexting, Cyber-bullying, Sex Predators, Stalking etc.

This Webinar format allows the first responder to be in the comforts of their own home and or police agency. It is recommended that the Patrol Officer attending this class should have a direct internet connection and NOT a wireless connection.

The decisions made by first responders and detectives can either make or break sometimes sensitive investigations into internet-based crimes such as fraud, sexting, cyber bullying, predatory sexual behaviors, stalking, etc.. Intended for both patrol and investigations, this 16 hour course will address ways in which officers can obtain crucial information and evidence in these cases, how due process paperwork is set into motion, and the investigative responses that are critical in the successful handling of these complaints.

This program is designed to keep up with the cutting edge of technology when dealing with preparing internet safety presentations for students and parents. We will cover the Illinois Cyberstalking laws and pending legislation. The program will demonstrate how Resource Officers, Juvenile Officers and Crime Prevention Officers should start the presentations with effective materials. The officer will be able to obtain information that is vital to the investigation of computer crime. The officer will examine the forms necessary to preserve and access information to help the investigation. Having this knowledge will allow the presenter to answer audience questions effectively. This is a certification program that is hands on. The Resource Officer will come to understand the basic principles in investigating internet crime. From there, they will be able to logically transfer their investigative ability to teach Students and Parents with knowledge and understanding how internet crime is investigated. A final portion of this presentation is the “The Cop and The Convict” program. This presentation is for parents in their efforts to give them tools to protect their children from drug abuse. This will be administered by presenting the drug problem, institute a drug testing policy at home, monitoring cell phone and computer use. This training will instruct the following topics:
